Healthy Schools

David Livingston Academy is a Healthy School and has maintained the National Healthy Schools Status for the last few years, which focuses on developing:

•Physical Activity e.g. Sports day, after school clubs and festivals.

•Healthy Eating e.g. water bottles and the one-fruit-a-scheme.

•Emotional Health and Well-Being e.g. circle time sessions.

•Personal, Social and Health and Economic education e.g. Rights Respecting Schools and School Council.

We want all children and young people to be healthy and achieve at school and in life. By providing opportunities at school for developing emotional and physical aspects of health this will lead to improved health, reduce health inequalities such as child obesity and other health related problems.

We want all of our children to stay happy and healthy as they grow up, and aim to help them make the right choices in order to do that. Through our curriculum, children learn about their health and how important it is to make healthy choices and to exercise.

Our in-house catering team encourage children to make healthy lunch choices; all hot lunches are well-balanced and nutritionally analysed and are cooked from scratch in our school kitchen.
